fun facts at the foreign ministry

Got some fun facts today at work. We were sitting in the lunch room at 10.15 am for the early coffee break and talking about the Eurovision Song Contest. The oldies (most are +40 or even +50) were reminiscing old eurovision hits. Apparently they had a bet some years ago about who the winner will be in ESC, and who won the bet? No other than Jan Eliasson (that I have written about before). Evidently very interested in ESC and good at picking the winner.

Apparently they have had some empty offices at the department where I am at and plenty of interesting people have had their office there. One being Jan Eliasson. To bad I never got to shake his hand and say hello.

me

Just me. Finding my way. One year living in the USA outside of New York City. Studying at JIBS in Jönköping. An exchange semester in Singapore, another one in Helsinki. On to the next chapter in Copenhagen with the completely different lifestyle of working. However, that chapter ended abruptly. Unemployment took its toll on me but I also rediscovered the fun in nail polish and nail art which kept me busy. Got a job and discovered Stockholm again after moving away at 18. As the restless person I am, I’m always longing for the next change. That restlessness has now taken me to London where I will be working and learning about the endless opportunities London has to offer. What’s my next move? Who knows. I am still just trying to figure it all out. My future.
